Bacterial strategies to evade natural or human-imposed antibiotics are varied and include membrane-bound efflux pumps that export antibiotics from the cell. A review of efflux pumps (Grkovic, S., et al., 2002) states that, because energy is required to drive the pumps, activating them in the absence of the antibiotic has a selective disadvantage. The review also states that a given antibiotic may play a role in the regulation of efflux by interacting with either an activator protein or a repressor protein, depending on the system involved. In a negative inducible system, the presence of antibiotic:.

Match the following terms describing electrical events with the correct phases of the cardiac cycle. the ventricular muscle cells depolarize at the start of this phase. during this phase, na+ entry through the funny channels causes the pacemaker potential of sa nodal cells to gradually become less negative until it reaches threshold. the ventricular muscle cells repolarize right before this phase. the cytosolic concentration of calcium in the contractile cells of the ventricle is highest during this phase. a. isovolumetric relaxation b. ventricular ejection c. isovolumetric contraction d. ventricular filling
